l^ To OUR Friends and Patrons : 

' In handing you our Catalogue for 1888, we desire to express our warm appreciation 

of your long-continued patronage and favor. We show this year a larger and more 
complete line of goods than ever before. For the accommodation of our rapidly-growing 
business we have just completed the erection of a five-story buildino adjoining our 
factory, giving us double the room we occupied formerly. Our manufacturing facilities are 
thereby greatly increased and it will enable us to carry a larger stock of goods. 

That we carry the largest and most varied assortment of barbers' supplies to 
be found in the United States cannot be questioned. We claim that our goods are cheaper 
and better than similar goods offered at equal prices by other houses. The quality of • 
our goods has always been our special pride. The purchaser of goods of our malie has 
the assurance of getting the finest and highest grade" that can be procured. 

In new goods we desire to call attention to several new chairs of original design; 
also to some new styles of combination dressing cases, washstands, poles, etc. Our 
exhibit of new and original designs in decorated glassware and in mugs-=-in lithographic 
colors — deserves particular mention. 

We have illustrated our Catalogue with interior views of our factory. These will prove 
of particular interest to those of our customers who cannot favor us with a visit. The 
temptation to embellish one's Catalogue with imaginative views of a big factory and 
elaborate interior views, is one that some ;^arber Supply Dealers cannot withstand. Some 
of these interiors show more hands at work in one department than are employed in the 
entire establishment. It is merely a question of dollars and cents between the sketch artist 
and the dealer, whether the engraving shall show two men at work or a dozen. By the 
same means it is comparatively easy to represent an establishment as occupying an entire 
block, when the whole business might be placed in a room eighteen feet square. 

The illustrations shown in our Catalogue represent scenes of every day occurrence, 
which can be verified by a personal visit to our place of business. We cordially invite 
inspection 

With renewed thanks for the generous patronage already bestowed upon us, and 
soliciting a continuance of the same, we are, 

Very respectfully yours, 

Theo. a. Kochs. 



We hardly deem it necessary to caution our patrons against giving away this 
Catalogue, as we are able to furnish only one copy to each of our customers.

The North Side Cable Cars, in close proximity to all the principal railway depots, 
pass directly before our door. The route traversed by the cable cars is plainly designated 
on the above diagram by dotted lines. Passengers can get aboard these cars at Monroe, 
Madison, Washington, Randolph, Lake, La Salle and Clark streets. The Wells street Cable 
Cars will take passengers right to our factory; the Clark street cars carry passengers 
within two blocks of our establishment. 

Intending purchasers will find it to their interest to call on us and examine our goods 
before buying elsewhere. 



OUR GROWING BUSINESS. 



When in the fall of 1884 we moved into our new quarters at 158 and 160 Wells 
Street, where we had erected a large four-story building, specially fitted up for our business, 
we thought we had built a place sufficiently large to accommodate us for many years to 
come. That we greatly miscalculated the rapid growth of our business was clearly evident, 
as a year ago we were obliged to add a fifth story to the building ; and now we have 
just finished putting up another five-story building adjoining our factory, giving us a 
frontage of 84 feet on Wells Street, and double the room we occupied two years and a 
half ago. 

This growth has been not only a remarkable but a healthy one; it demonstrates more 
forcibly than words can tell, the popularity and superiority of our goods. It is a cordial 
endorsement of the generous policy of the house and of its straightforward business 
methods. 

In our dealings we have always considered the interests of our customers as identical 
with our own. Close observers of the needs and wants of the trade, we have been foremost 
in originating, designing and creating new goods, and in raising to a higher standard 
the quality of Barbers' supplies in general. 

The liberal orders of a large patronage, repeated year after year and covering nearly 
the whole area of the United States, furnishes satisfactory evidence that our work is 
appreciated by those competent to judge of its value, and we trust no assurance is neces- 
sary that the high standard of quality of our goods will always be maintained. 

Our factory is the largest and most complete of its kind in the world, and we say 
this without making any reservation whatever. It is the most systematically arranged for 
the HIGHEST GR.\DE of work at a minimum cost, and in its equipment of labor-saving 
machinery it cannot be surpassed. 

We extend a cordial invitation to all our patrons and to the trade in general to 
honor us with a visit when they happen to be in Chicago.

OUR CHAIRS. 



Wliea a little over ten years ago we began the manufacture of barbers' chairs, we 
determined that this house should produce chairs of a higher quality and better firdsh than 
had ever been placed within the reach of the barber and hair- dresser. The high reputation 
which our chairs bear, and the increasing demand for them, fully attests the high i-egard in 
which they are held by the craft. To-day our chairs tower head and shoulders above all 
competitors in every essential point. 

The record they have made is one of which we can feel justly proud. There are in 
use in this city to-day chairs of our manufacture sold by us ten years ago, which are 
still serviceable ; the frames are firm, the upholstering good, and the adjusting mechanism 
in perfect working order. These are facts, susceptible of proof. Such results can only be 
obtained where material and workmanship are of the very best. 

■ The machinery for adjusting our chairs is the perfection of mechanical construction; 
being patented, this machinery cannot be imitated, but other dealers are constantly at work 
trying to invent some mechanism to attain the same satisfactory results. Every year these 
dealers introduce to the trade, barbers' chairs rigged up with some new-fangled adjusting 
contrivance. They succeed in turning out a chair that looks well and apparently works 
satisfactorily. Unable to copy our machinery they copy our styles, and pattern after them 
as closely as possible. Thi-ee months' work with these chairs prove "them to be a delusion 
and a snare. The frame begins to come apart at the joints ; the machinery wobbles, the 
upholstering sags, the finish becomes lustreless, and the purchaser concludes that he has 
been badly bitten. 

The manufacture of barbers' chairs is a science that cannot be learned in a day, nor a 
year; neither will the purchase of patents nor the power of money procure the capacity to 
excel in it. It comes only as the result of dearly-bought experience and long practical 
training. The material used in the construction of our chairs is the best and choicest avail- ' 
able for the purpose. After the lumber is kiln-dried, the different pieces comprising the 
frame are cut out. These pieces are then placed in another drying room, where they 
remain for three months, undergoing in the meantime a thorough seasoning process. The 
durability of the chair frame is thereby guaranteed. 

The machinery for adjusting our chairs cannot be equaled. It is strong, durable, and 
easily operated. It holds the chair perfectly firm and immovable, in whatever position it is 
placed. The plushes used on our chairs are all of our own importation, and are pure mohair. 
We use on our chairs a finer grade of plush than is used by any other manufacturer. Besides 
the usual colored plushes, such as crimson, maroon and green, we have also fancy-colored 
plushes in old gold, peacock blue and different shades of olive. 

Our chairs are in use in all the principal cities of the United States. They are to be 
found in the finest shops in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, 
Cincinnati, Denver, Omaha and other large cities. We also ship them to Califoi'nia and to 
Canada; to England and toAustralia. Their reputation is world-wide, and they occupy the 
highest position among all barbers' chairs. 



We have agents for our chairs and furniture in every large city in the United States. 
In Chicago our barbers' chairs can be obtained only from us. 



IS^° In ordering chairs, if quoted in more than one kind of wood please be careful to 
state in what particular wood they are wanted. The Eureka chair, for instance, is made in 
cherry, walnut and oak. In selecting furniture to match chairs, this same fact should be 
borne in mind.

We wish to call attention to the fact that we are the only parties in Chicago from 
whom the No. 4 chair, as shown here, can be obtained. We mention this because other 
dealers also advertise a No. 4 chair, gotten up in imitation of ours, and which they illustrate 
with a cut nearly similar to our own. We desire to warn intending purchasers against these 
base imitations, which are inferior in every respect.

This chair has always been and will continue to be a great favorite. It is made of 
solid Black Walnut, Cherry or Oak, with removable seat. We have remodeled this chair 
considerably, to its manifest advantage. The seat has been lowered several inches, thus 
bringing the arms of the occupant in a more natural and comfortable position. The seat 
has also been made deeper; besides this several minor improvements have been made. Since 
making these alterations the artist will find this chair much easier to work on. Adjustable 
to every desired position for shaving or hair-cutting. The platform and cross-bar of foot- 
stool are covered with sheet brass, studded with brass nails. The popularity of this chair 
has led other manufacturers to make attempts at imitating them. See that every chair has 
a name-plate, stamped "Kochs' Eureka, Pat. Feb. 17, 1880. None genuine without this 
plate.

KOCHS' MODERN RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR, No. 

Patented Feb. 9, 1886, and Dec. 13, 1887. 




In position for Sliaving. 



The machinery for adjusting this chair is exactly similar to that used on the No. 12 
reclining chair. It possesses great strength, and is built for service. It holds the chair 
perfectly firm in whatever position it is placed. A slight pressure on the treadle permits 
the chair to be adjusted to any desired position, and on releasing the pressure the machi- 
nery is locked instantaneously without the least jar. The foot-board is provided with 
our patent double catch for locking it securely from both sides. Accidents caused by 
the foot slipping between the leg rest and foot-board, which are of frequent occurrence 
on other reclining chairs where but one catch is used, are prevented hy our patent device. 



In Chicago our Barbers' Chairs can be obtained only from us.

BARBERS' FURNITURE. 



We show this year a larger and more varied assortment of Barbers' Furniture 
than ever before. We have discontinued making some old styles of Furniture, in 
place of which we show many new and original designs. We have paid particular 
attention to Combination Dressing Cases, of which we exhibit a large variety'. The 
high prices at which Combination Dressing Cases were held, up to the time we 
started making them, restricted their use to a few high priced shops. We have put 
these Cases on the market at such prices as to bring them within the reach of the 
most modest purse. 

Our facilities for making Combination Dressing Cases are unequalled. We 
are also prepared to make to order Cases to fill a certain space of room. We are 
ready to give estimates on any style of Combination Dressing Case shown in other 
dealers' catalogues. As we get up Furniture in a variety' of woods, we would 
suggest to our patrons to be very explicit when ordering goods. Our manufactures 
comprise Furniture in Cherry, Walnut, Mahogany and Oak. We can furnish 
complete outfits in different kinds of wood. In mahing selection of Chairs and 
Furniture, please note in loliat particular hind of wood the various pieces are made.. 

As our styles of Furniture are largely copied by other houses, intending 
purchasers who desire our make of goods should insist on getting goods of our 
manufacture, and refuse all others. Many cuts of Furniture in some city dealers' 
catalogues are exact copies of ours, yet our goods cannot be obtained from these 
parties ; and this for the simple reason that we do not sell to any City Dealers. 
While their illustrations are similar to ours; the goods they sell will be found to be 
vastly inferior in workmanship and finish. Every possible expedient is resorted to 
. to cheapen the article. Where, for instance, we use carving, the}' substitute cheap 
line engraving, etc. It will be seen from this how careful one needs be in ordering. 

This year's catalogue contains illustrations of some new styles of Combination 
Dressing Cases and other Furniture. The temptation to imitate these new styles is 
so strong, that we think we are safe in assuming, that before twelve months have 
passed, many dealers will be found illustrating their catalogues with engravings, 
exact copies of ours, and claim them as their original productions.

BATH ROOM FIXTURES. 




BATH OUTFITS. 

The large proportions which this branch of our business has attained, lias made it necessary to create of 
it a Special Department. The success which has attended our efforts to supply barbers with a co"mplete, first- 
class bath outfit, at a moderate price, has been most gratifying. We have practically demonstrated the possi- 
bility of furnishing an outdt which can be set up in thorough working order without the aid of a plumber or 
machinist, and which can be depended upon to give entire satisfaction. The advantage of running bath rooms 
in connection with a barber shop is obvious, and the amount of capital required is comparatively small. But 
little room is needed, as a one-tub bath outfit, complete, can be conveniently set up in a room eight feet square, 
if required. Our methods are simple and practical. All that we require is a rough plan of the room, in which 
the outfit is to be placed, with length, width and height of rocm, and showing where the various fixtures are to 
be located. From the measurements given we get out the needed fittings and pipe, cut in proper lengths and 
threaded. The fixtures, set up in our shop in the exact position in which they will be arranged in your room, 
are then connected, and all the different sections marked, after which they are taken apart for shipment. 

ARRANGEMENT OF PIPE AND FITTINGS. 

In arranging the pipe and fittings, we aim to have everything as simple as possible, so that no difflcnlty 
whatever will be experienced in connecting the various fixtures. If, for instance, we find, that by the 
addition of an extra fitting or two, connections are more readily made, we never hesitate to put them in. 
We generally figure on furnishing with each outfit three stopcocks and one globe valve. By means of the stop- 
cocks the water is kept under full control at all times ; the globe valve is used to empty the heater and iron tank 
of water. 

In some instances, where the room has a low ceiling, say eight feet high, and all the fixtnres arc to be 
placed in same, we find it at times convenient to lay the iron tank on its side. In this position it will work per- 
fectly satisfactorily. The arrangement of pipe and fittings differs with almost every outfit, and we always give 
our patrons the benefit of a large experience. Our facilities for doing this class of work are unequaled, and we 
guarantee all our work in this line. 



OUR SYSTEM OF HEATING. 

The system by which water in the iron tank is kept heated is the one known as " hot water circulation." 
This system is simple, easily understood and is exactly the same as is used in thousands of dwellings through- 
out the country, where the water-back of a kitclien stove is connected with an iron tank or boiler. In using 
this system there is absolute safety, accidents being impossible. Our bath heaters and iron tanks can be used 
equally well where supply is furnished from wood tank or in connection with water works where there is con- 
siderable pressure. Our bath heaters will all stand one hundred pounds cold water pressure to the square inch. 

The pipe and fittings are securely boxed, thus insurin" safe arrival of all pieces. We furnish with each 
outfit, free of charge, a sketch of the fixtures, pipe and fittings as they appear when set up in working order, 
the numbers on sketch corresponding with numbers on pipe, etc. These precautions rendermistakes in putting 
up fixtures absolutely Impossible. We also send with every complete outfit, wi//io«< f//a/'g'«, n pair of patent 
adjustable pipe tongs; with the aid of these tongs and an ordinary monkey wrench, pipe connections are easily 
made.

BATH OUTFITS. 




Tbe above illustration shows stetch of a Bath Outfit furnished one of our customers. The numbers 
correspond with the numbered tags attached to the different sections of pipe. The simplicity of oar methods, 
and the readiness with which an Outfit can be set up, will be apparent at a glance. With every complete Bath 
Outfit that we famish, we send, free of charge, a sketch of tbe Outfit as it appears when set up in position, and 
also a patent adjustable pipe tongs, with which to make connections.

Sectional View 




of Self-Feeder. 



These heaters are made of heavy boiler iron, with cast-iron heads, are strongly built, and are especially 
adapted for heating water for bath rooms. They combine safety with economy and durability, and being simple 
in construction, there is nothing about them to get out of order. The expense of running them, which is an 
important item, is comparatively small. With an allowance of 30 to 40 lbs. of coal per day, a 10 x 18 heater wil) 
furnish all the hot water needed for running one tub. Each heater can be relied upon to furnish the amount 
of hot water stated in the above table. These heaters will stand 100 lbs. cold water pressure to the square inch, 
every heater being tested this way before being shipped. Wood, hard or soft coal can be burned in these heaters. 
The feed pipe in the smaller sizes is a portion of the smoke pipe which we furnish. In cut of Self-Feeder, 
A shows the Damper Chain, B the Feed Door, and C the Door for examining fire. For one tub outfit we should 
recommend the 10x18 heater; for two tubs the 12 x 24 size. When using this heater an iron tank is always 
necessary, as connections should not be made directly between heater and tub.

CONNECTIONS TAPPED FOR WROUGHT IRON PIPE. 




These heaters are made of the best quality of extra heavy Boiler iron, and the plates are solidly welSed 
together; the heads are irelded into the shells and the Hues are '/reld(d into the heads, thus the entire IJoiler is 
without Seamx, Joinffi oT IHvets. These Boilers arc strong and compact: they will expand and contract freely 
without any risk of fracture, and making them red hot will not cause leakage. They arc manufactured ot the 
beet C. II. No. 1 Iron. These heaters have the fuel feeder independent of the smoke pipe, and they arc furnished 
with sliding fire and draught doors. The grates can be removed and replaced without disturbing the heater. 
Coal, hard or soft, coke or wood, can be burned in them. These heaters are unusually strong, are simple 
durable and reliable. 



STOVES WITH COILS. 

We purposely omit from our list of bath heaters the heating stove with coil in same. The comb'nation of 
a stove for warming the room and also for heating water for bathing purposes at the same time, is desirable only 
in cold weather. Jn summer, when most bathing is done, these coll stoves are objectionable because of the 
large amount of heat which they give out. The greater the number of baths given, the hotter the fire required. 
This has been our experience, and for this reason we cannot recommend them.

The self-feeders have smoke-pipe independent of the 
magazine. 

The No. 4 Heater has a coil of pipe placed inside of the 
fire-box to increase the heating surface. Size No. has 
a 1 inch inlet and outlet, sizes Nos. 1 and 2 have a 1J4 inch 
inlet and outlet, and sizes Nos. 3 and 4 have two I54 inch 
inlets and outlets, unless otherwise ordered. The No. is 
fitted for 5 inch stove-pipe, all other sizes for 6 inch pipe. 

No. 0. Sectional View No. 1. 

These Heaters have cast iron heads above and below, connected together by a series of wrought iron 
tubes, arranged in a circle and surrounded by a heavy iron jacket. The iron in the heads is from % to V^ inch 
in thickness. The sectional cut of the No. 1 size, illustrated here, gives a clear idea of their construction. 
These Heaters are characterized by their simplicity, substantial construction, economy in the use of fuel, and 
the ease with which they can be repaired. All parts are screwed together, not a single rivet being used in the 
entire Heater. The feed door is entirely independent of the smoke pipe. The No. has the feed door at the 
top (see cut) ; all other sizes have feed door in body of furnace, as shown in sectional view, with water back 
below the door. These Heaters have fully 30 per cent, more heating surface than any other heater of their size. 
Hard or soft coal, coke, or wood, cut in moderately short lengths, can be used for fuel. For burning wood they 
will be found superior to other heaters, owing to their large heating surface. Every Heater is tested to 125 
pounds cold water pressure before leaving the factory. All parts are interchangeable, and pipe threads are all 
standard. If any part should give out through carelessness or neglect, an exact duplicate can be furnished, 
and be put in place at any boiler or machine shop without returning the Heater to the factory.

DECORATED CHINA SHAVING MUGS. 



In China Decorating we have acquired a national reputation, through the 
high character of our work. The Decoration on our Shaving Mugs represents 
the combined talent of a corps of skilled artists. This is the secret of our suc- 
cess in China Decorating. We entrust this class of work only in the hands of 
professional artists, who have had a thorough and practical training in this 
special branch of business. 

Every artist is put at such work in which he excels. One artist devotee 
his entire time to flowers, a second paints birds, another one makes designs, 
a fourth does the lettering, a fifth attends to the grounding, etc., etc. Every 
artist thus becomes an expert in his particular line of work. The decoration 
on a single mug will often represent the combined skill of three or four 
artists. 

The advantage our system of work gives us over other houses is readily 
seen. Wc take pleasure in showing, on pages 119 to 126, Colored Plates of 
Shaving Mugs, among which will be found several new designs. Considering 
the A'^ast number of Mugs we turn out in the course of the year, it seems 
wonderful how rarely an error occurs. This is due to our careful system of 
checking and re-checking the names on mugs in entering up orders. 

Our Decorated Mugs can be procured only from us in Chicago, and 
outside of the city only from our authorized agents. Customers will please 
make a note of this, as some city dealers have adopted our style of numbering 
mugs, in order to mislead their customers. We are prepared to make any style 
of mugs shown in other dealers' catalogues at their prices. This refers only 
to such mugs which do not appear in our catalogue. In ordering, it is only 
necessary to give the number of the mug and the price. 

The prices we quote on Mugs are net, and are not subject to any dis- 
count, except when the bill amounts to $20 or over, when we allow a discount 
of five per cent.

DESIQNS. 



The prices here quoted will give a general idea of what we charge for this class of 
work. Included in the following list are such subjects as are in frequent demand. We 
could extend this list indefinitely, bit there is no occasion for it. In the way of designs, 
we can furnish anything that is desired. Where it is possible to send a sketch or print of 
the object to be copied, we will be obliged if our patrons will forward same with order. 
The No. 1 Mug, particularly the larger size, is especially adapted for designs, though designs 
can be placed to good advantage on many of the other styles. We notice that some dealers 
give quotations on designs, including mug, thus restricting their customers to one style of 
mug. We have purposely avoided doing this, and give prices of designs separately, thus 
permitting our patrons to make selection of any style of mug that suits their taste. Prices 
here quoted are for designs only, and should be added to the price of mug on which the 
design is placed. For prices of mugs see Page 116.

BARBERS' GLASSWARE. 

We desire to call Ibe particular attention of those who admire art in srlassware to our 
new line of Decorated Toilet Bottles and Bowls, illustrated on the followin/i: three pages, the 
designs being new and original. The decorations are on glass, and are burned in, in precisely 
the same way as is done on our Mugs. The effects are rich and beautiful, and surpass 
anything before offered. 

When the barbers' supply business was in its infancy, the tonsorial artist was obliged to 
content himself with such articles in glassware as he could procure from the glass and 
crockery dealer. There was at that time no distinctive " barbers' toilet glassware," and we 
pride niirselves on being the first to recognize the needs of the trade. We took the matter 
in hand, studied carefullj'^ the wants of the barber and hair-dresser, created special designs, 
and in the course of a few years introduced a line of toilet glassware adapted to the various 
needs of the profession. These goods represent the products of the American furnace, as 
well as those of France, Belgium, Germany and Bohemia. The earlier attempts at bottle 
decoration is seen in the glass lal)el bottle, a style that is seldom called for to-day. 

That we have been instrumental in raising this branch to the present high standard is 
very gratifying to us, and the more so as we find our work is thoroughly appreciated by 
our patrons.

KOCHS' IMPROVED SWIVEL STROP. 
Made of Seamless Ijinen Hose, -with Hwivel End, ready for use, price . 

This strop is without exception the best finished linen hose strop that is made. It is far superior 
to any imported hose strop. It is exceedingly flexible, highly finished on both sides, draws well, and a great 
favorite with everyone who has used it. The swivel permits of its being turned, so it can be used on either 
side. The handle end is provided with a very convenient loop. We guarantee this strop to be superior to 
higher priced strops of the same style. We warrant every strop to give satisfaction.

S1.S5 



The demand for a serviceable low-priced double-swing strop induced us to get up this strop. Only the best 
of material is used in its manufacture. Its swivel end allows it to be reversed at will so it can be used on 
either side. 

KOCHS' DOUBLE-SWINC STROP, No. 36.

.S3.0O 



The choicest quality of genuine Russia leather and the best seamless linen hose are used in this strop. 
It has a swivel end, permitting it to be used on either side at will. The strop, in form of an endless belt, rests at 
both ends on small rolls or pulleys, thereby securing rapid adjustment, and also giving strop, which is upper- 
most, a better bearing. The Russia leather used in this strop has the satin finish. All metal parts are finely 
nickel- plated.

We have received a large numb(r of inquiries from parties askina; as to the methods we employ in pro- 
ducing on our Russia strops the fine satin finish. Replying to these, will say that we accomplish these results 
by a vigorous use of elbow grease in combination with a strop preparation of our own invention. There is no 
other known process for putting such a gloss and satin finish on strops as we prrduce. If any of these strops 
should not prove satisfactory, we will refund the money, if strop be returned by mail in good order.

BRAZILIAN HONES. 




(Label Copyrighted ) 



PRICES: 

7 inch $1.50 l 9 inch $2.00 

8 " 1.75 I 10 " 2.25 

Above prices include rubbers. 

The Brazilian Razor Hone is a special brand of our own, and is a water hone of the highest and finest 
quality. The peculiar qualities of these hones were first discovered by us, and we know of no hones that have 
given such universal satisfaction. To distinguish them from ordinary water hones, some of which resemble 
them in appearance, we adopted for them the label of which the cut shown above is a fac-simile. For the 
protection of ourselves and our customers this label has been copyrighted. 

The Brazilian Hones are of fine and compact grain, possess unusually great cutting powers, hone easily 
and leave razors with a keen and lasting edge. These hones can be obtained only from us and our authorized 
agents. It has puzzled other dealers not a little to discover the quarries from whence we procure these hones. 
As the supply is limited and as we take the entire output, the discovery of our source of supply would be of no 
value to them. We desire to warn our patrons against imitations of this hone. One dealer is trying to sell a 
yellowish green water hone as a substitute for the Brazilian hone, while another is doing his best to palm off a 
light green hone in place of the genuine. To further protect purchasers from imposition, every Brazilian hone 
will, from March Ist, 1888, bear our signature thus:— 



Q^^.a^^^^r^ 



We guarantee every Brazilian hone to give satisfaction ; should any of them not suit we will cheerfully 
refund the money, if hone be returned to us free of charge in good order. 

We are the only house in Chicago from whom the Brazilian hones can be obtained. 



$50.00 WOULD NOT BUY IT! 

What one of our customers says about our Brazilian Hones: 

Augusta, Ga., June 18. 188t>. 
Theo. a Kochs, 

Dear Sir:— * * ♦ I cannot bring this letter to a close without paying a high compliment to the 
quality of your new Brazilian Water Hone. I suppose I have bought a hundred hones, paying from $3.00 to 
$10.00 for them, and have never been able to get ope to suit me until your agent advised me to try a Brazilian 
hone, and after a fair trial I must say for ease in honing, keen cutting, and lasting edge, I have never seen its 
equal. I paid you two dollars for it. Fifty dollars would not buy it! You can use this recommendation if you 
wish; probably it might strike the eye of some other barber that is in the same fix as I was. With many thanks 
to your agent for his kind attention, I am. 

Respectfully yours, E. J. HICKEY. 



A CANDID OPINION. 

Aberdeen, Dak., March 23, 1887. 
Mr. Theo. A. Kocus, 

Dear .Sir.-— You reciuested my opinion of the Brazilian hone. It has all the admirable qualities that j/ou 
have represented it to have in every particular. It is the finest I ever possessed in about fourteen years' 
experience, pretty much all over this country. 

Truly yours, JAY SATTERLEE.

The sizes generally used, and the most practical for barbers' use, are the 7, 8, 9 and 10 inch 
hones. There are a good many serviceable hones among those classed as second quality. 
Some of these are a little coarse-grained, while others have small defects, which do not, 
however, unfit them for use. In ordering a second quality hone, please describe exactly 
what kind of a hone you want and we will do our best in making selection. 

EXCHANGING HONES. 

We only make one exchange on selected hones. Hones must be returned to us free 
of charge in good order. We cannot exchange second quality hones.

THE CARE OF CLIPPERS. 

The cutting of a clipper depends entirely on the setting of it. 
Use the greatest care about the tension. Never screw the nuts 
tighter than just sufficient to cut fine hair and work smoothly. If a 
hair be introduced between the teeth, it should spring out the 
moment the teeth come in contact with it. Where two nuts are used 
on the clipper, both sides should be tried in the same manner. Oil 
often all the working parts with the best Sperm Oil, which you can 
procure from your druggist. We also sell Sperm Oil, put up in 
bottles, two ounces for 10 cents. Do not use Sweet Oil or Vegetable 
Oil ; all such oils become gummy and interfere with the action of the 
clipper. Never try to cat hair which has dirt or grit in it. When you 
are throut^h using your clippers, dust them off carefully, oil them, and 
place them where they cannot be meddled with.

OUR RAZORS. 



Razors that will cut, that will take an edge and keep it; razors forged from 
the finest and highest grade of English steel, exquisitely tempered, artistically 
ground, and made for wear and service; such are the razors which we ofier to a 
critical and discriminating patronage. Most of the brands of razors comprised 
within our list are alread}'^ well known to the trade, and bear a high repu- 
tation. They possess superior qualities, and for general excellence cannot be 
equalled. 

We make no pretence of grinding our razors by an electro-gas process, a 
process which never existed ; nor do we try to delude our customers into 
the belief that the razors we sell are manufactured at our own factory, when they 
have been made some thousands of miles away. We do not claim that our 
razors are made out of Japanese-Liar-o-steel, tempered by some wonderful secret 
process, when nothing but ordinary material has been used. We sell our razors 
under no false pretences. 

Our razors are honest English-made razors, manufactured from the very best 
quality of steel that money can buy, tempered by the most improved process^ and 
ground by expert grinders. 

The Lucifer, Bessemer, Damascus, Robert Knight, Diamond Steel and Henry 
Martin are special brands of our own, and gotten up especially for our own trade. 
These razors are made by difierent manufacturers, the hest razor makers in England. 

We offer our razors to the trade on their own inherent merits, full}' satisfied 
that they will meet every requirement, and confident that their sterling qualities 
will gain for them manj^ friends.

The Lucifer is a new brand of Razor, which we have had specially manufactured for our 
own trade. Every Lucifer Razor bears the Trade Mark shown here, and the illustrations 
below give a good idea of the style of Razor and the Case accompanying it. 

These Razors are made from the finest quality of English Razor Steel. Every blade is 
subjected to the strictest scrutiny and carefully tested before being used; the greatest of care 
is taken in the tempering, and the grinding is absolutely perfect. We desire to draw attention 
to the peculiar shape and style of the razor shank, which differs from every other razor 
made. This shank is oval faced and permits of a firm grip.

OUR GRIND-SHOP. 

We show on the opposite page an interior view of our grind-shop taken from life. 
We have noticed on looking over other dealers' catalogues, what purports to be interior 
views of grind-shops, in which one sees a small army of men grinding razors, forging 
steel, etc. For some reason or other, these shops are never open to inspection, presumably 
on the ground that the machines are undergoing repairs. These grind-shops which look 
so big on paper, will be found to employ in reality from two to four men. 

Our grindshop is always open to inspection, and we cordially invite visitors to our 
factory to inspect same and note our methods of work. They will find a scene 
exactly as illustrated here. We have found occasion before to comment on the wonderful 
and rapid growth of this department. Every grinder we employ is an expert at his calling. 
The result is seen in the exceptionally high character of our work. We require on the 
average from one week to ten days to fill orders for grinding, after razors, etc., are received, 
as we are usually that time behind with this class of work. No one appreciates more 
than we do the importance of returning to customers as quickly as possible the tools 
sent us for grinding. Grinding to be done properly requires time, and if we occasionally 
presume a little upon the patience of our patrons, we trust they will overlook it, as thej 
can rest assured that we have their interests always in view. 



GRINDING AND REPAIRING. 

Directions. — Razors are mailable, if the razor is securely hound with wire, so the blade 
cannot open. The safest way to send grinding is by express. In sending unsealed packages 
of razors or other tools by mail, do not enclose any writing in the package, but send full 
directions by letter. Write your name and address on the outside of the package. We 
frequently receive a package without any name or address marked on, and nothing to indicate 
who sent it. Delays naturally occur, until we can discover who the sender is. If razors 
are to be returned by mail, please remit five cents for each razor. If they are to be 
returned by registered mail, add ten cents for registration.

SOAPS. 



Three years ago we began to manufacture Kochs' Barbers' Bar Shaving 
and also various Toilet Soaps, and from an humble beginning this department 
has grown into one of our most important industries. To make it a success, 
we were full}' aware that there was needed a Shaving Soap that would at all 
times be uniform in qualit}', and which would give a mild, cream}', penetrating 
and durable lather, qualities which we have attained in Kochs' Barbers' Bar 
Shaving Soap. Dealing directly with barbers and hair-dressers, we are in the 
best possible position to know what properities a fine Shaving Soap should 
possess. We have profited by the suggestions and communications of thousands 
of our customers all over the countr}' and have been enabled to bring about in 
a few years a success far greater than others have accomplished in a life-time. 

The processes used in the manufacture of our Shaving Soap are the latest 
and most improved, and as our soap is made in our own building and under our 
immediate supervision, we have the knowledge that nothing but the choicest and 
best of materials enter into its composition. 

On the opposite page we illustrate the Registered Trade Mark, which appears 
on all boxes and wrappers of our Barbers' Bar Shaving Soap, and is a guarantee 
of its purity and quality. 

We also wish to call special attention to our Toilet Soaps, which are quoted 
on page 185. These are of standard quality, and by comparison with catalogues 
of other manufacturers, it will be noticed that our prices are exceedingly low. 
Considering the prices asked, our Toilet Soaps are b}' far the best, and we are 
confident that after a single trial they will be given the preference over all others. 

We desire particularl}' to state, that the Shaving Soap bearing our name is 
manufactured solel}' by ourselves mi. nur own premises, and it always affords us 
pleasure to show visitors through our Soap Manufacturing Department.

In ordering sponges please be careful to give exact description, as above, of kind that 
are wanted; also mention price. These sponges are of our own importation, and have been 
assorted by ourselves. We have been at particular pains in so grading them that customers 
in ordering can always depend upon getting a uniform size. We have aimed at creating a 
certain standard as to size and quality, and we think our efforts have been successful. We 
are confident that a finer and more uniform line of sponges has never been offered to the 
trade. We have tried to suit the wants of everybody, whether wanting a cheap or a high 
priced article. If the sponges sold by us should not prove satisfactory, we will refund the 
money paid for them, if returned by mail in good order.

whatever. The paper we furnish comes in rolls, is white and of good quality. These 
clippers, in a modified form, are in use in the Palmer House Barber Shop, of this city.
